Classification [edit]. Pidgins and creoles are often classified in terms of their superstrate and substrate languages. The superstrate language is the language on which the pidgin or creole is primarily based, and is usually the language of the colonizing people.
Here are some brief descriptions of the Trail as it passes through the fourteen states that are home to portions of it. The mileages are fairly accurate, but don't take them as gospel. Reroutings of the Trail cause the trail mileage to change from year to year. You can keep up with the actual changes by getting a copy of the Data Book, which is issued yearly. Do not count on all information provided by various out-links as it is hard for files to be kept up to date.
Appalachian Trail in NH. The AT is a 2100 mile foot trail running along the Appalachian Range from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mt Katahdin in Maine. In New Hampshire it reaches the most exposed and difficult terrain in the entire journey. The trail enters NH across the Ledyard Bridge in Hanover. For the previous twenty miles in Vermont and the next 50 miles in New Hampshire the trail is maintained by the Dartmouth Outing Club. From downtown Hanover the trail heads up Velvet Rocks to the Velvet Rocks shelter.
